Abergavenny Symphony Orchestra ended its summer term with a joyful performance from Manu Brasso who played a selection of themes from Verdi’s La Traviata,  in a concert packed with great tunes from the opera.  

The new term for the orchestra  will  start on September 1 with a workshop for string players (members and newcomers), under the guidance of local professional violinist, Gillian Bradley.   This is a superb opportunity for players to be coached by  Gill who is returning to support the orchestra, having  first joined as a member  aged  10.

She has returned to the orchestra as a soloist over the years, last in November 2022 to play  Vaughan William’s The Lark Ascending. Gill is a freelance musician, regularly playing with Welsh National Opera, and providing  invaluable  tuition to musicians locally and nationally. 

The orchestra holds weekly rehearsals on a Sunday evening during school term time, starting Sunday 8th September 2024, in preparation  for concerts on November 17 and December 8.
